The New Salem Civic Club donated $20,000 towards the dust collection system for our new shop! A heartfelt thank you to one of our biggest supporters in our community!
Weather UPDATE:
PVE students will be let out at 1:20 and 6th-12th grade will be dismissed at 1:25 due to the weather forecast which includes increased winds along with some snow. Hearing back from some families in the country and driving some back roads, it is already starting to drift and I believe it will get worse. This isn't an easy decision but I would rather err on the side of caution. I do apologize for the inconvenience!
As part of our Cognia School Improvement process, Cognia created a parent survey which will give us some feedback on the climate and culture of our schools. Please take a few minutes to take this short survey.

We will run on time this morning, buses where possible. Looking at the forecast, it appears the wind will pick up this afternoon so we will keep the 2:30 early out, however, depending on conditions, it MAY be earlier than that.
The FFA contest in Carrington this weekend has been cancelled.
Weather UPDATE:
A decision regarding school will be made tomorrow, if we do run on time and have school, buses will only travel where possible. Please contact your bus driver if he cannot make it down your road.
The Speech and Acalympic meets have been postponed for tomorrow. Looking at the weather (wind), I want to keep our early out at 2:30PM.
The ACT test is on Tuesday, March 28. The test is no longer required by the state, but we still like to offer it in-house to any juniors that have already signed up. There are many practice sites out there, including ACT.org if your son/daughter would like some additional practice before taking the test.
Just a reminder that school will be dismissing early tomorrow (Friday) at 2:30 as we are hosting our annual speech meet with over 20 schools attending. If you are interested in helping out as a judge, contact Laura Muth,

JH/HS Parents:
We are virtual learning today. All teachers should have assignments posted or sent out by 9:00 am this morning. There will be two virtual class meetings today, one from 10:00-10:30, and another from 10:45-11:15. Please have your student complete all assignments and show up for the two virtual meetings, as this day counts for us and will not have to be made up. These two factors will be used in determining attendance for the day. Please follow this schedule for the virtual day. If your student is having problems logging on, please have them reach out to the teachers for help.
